Too many people sharing party lines

You took your lucky break and broke it in two
Now what can be done for you
You broke it in two

SOLO: Am  Em  G  D  Am  Em  G  D  G

Too many people preaching practices
Don't let them tell you what you wanna be
Too many people holding back
This is crazy and maybe it's not like me

That was your last mistake
I find my love awake and waiting to be
Now what can be done for you
                   G
She's waiting for me

NOTE: "[John Lennon had] been doing a lot of preaching, and it
got up my nose a little bit. In one song, I wrote, 'Too many
people preaching practices,'I think is the line. I mean, that
was a little dig at John and Yoko. There wasn't anything else
on it that was about them. Oh, there was 'You took your
lucky break and broke it in two...' (Paul McCartney, 1984)
